Remember when you were a kid playing with your favourite action figures/video games/television shows and you would go, "I wish it was real!" Well, that's the basis of this trope: a well-trodden storyline where the favourite fictional elements of the main characters somehow materialise into the [[WelcomeToTheRealWorld real world]] (or the characters are transported into their home AlternateUniverse) through some AppliedPhlebotinum (frequently [[MakeAWish a wish]]). Depending on the mood of the story, Zany Antics or NightmareFuel follows as the characters deal with their new circumstances. Remember, BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor.
